Technical Brief Readiness Check

Ambitious idea? Test the brief before promising it.

Eight questions. Three minutes. A practical view of the missing decisions between creative ambition and a dependable live product.

Test the brief ↓
01How operational is the brief?

Can the team identify the customer benefit, required output and delivery constraint?

02Who owns the final decision?

Is one person accountable for approving the promise, scope and release?

03Are the data and systems explicit?

Does the brief identify the information, services and existing systems the product depends on?

04Can reviewers see the evidence?

Can the team trace the requirements, source material and assumptions behind important decisions?

05Is approval a real delivery state?

Can everyone distinguish proposed, reviewed, approved and released work?

06Does security match the work?

Are access, storage, retention and system boundaries appropriate for the client material?

07Is value measurable?

Can the agency explain what improves: speed, quality, margin, risk or customer experience?

08Does the workflow connect to delivery?

Can approved output move into the agency's production and project systems?

Why no email gate?

Useful first. Commercial second.

The score should help whether or not you contact Personify. If it reveals a live brief that needs structure, governance or technical challenge, bring that one real brief.

The next conversation starts with the work, not with a generic sales qualification call.
